Philippine opposition files impeachment complaint against Arroyo
11:43 PM EDT Jul 24
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Opposition legislators filed an impeachment complaint Monday against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, accusing her of vote-rigging and other allegations.

The filing against Arroyo claims she "stole, cheated and lied" to obtain and hold power.

A summary of the complaint, seen by The Associated Press, accuses Arroyo of 10 major crimes including election fraud and corruption. It claims she can be impeached on at least four grounds.

"By so flouting justice and the rule of law, she has committed an unforgivable outrage against the Filipino people," it says.

3. Arroyo critics warn of a revolt

Opposition lawmakers said yesterday they would take the battle to oust President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to the streets if her dominant allies in Congress block an impeachment complaint.
Lawmakers were finalizing the complaint -- a draft claimed Arroyo "stole, cheated and lied" to rise and stay in power -- that they plan to file today before she delivers her televised State of the Nation address in Congress, opposition Representative Rolex Suplico said.

Arroyo's aides have taken steps to block the new complaint on a legal technicality. The complaint cites at least 10 alleged crimes, including elections fraud, corruption and obstruction of justice, and claims she is vulnerable to at least four of the six constitutional grounds for impeachment.
